3D Viewport Pie Menus sits at rank 28 in the Blender Extensions library, and earns its place for a broad set of gesture-based pie menus that also introduce new operators.
3D Viewport Pie Menus is a community add-on for Blender that provides a range of gesture-based pie menus aimed at making various workflows faster. Beyond the menus themselves, some of them also add useful new operators, so the add-on extends what you can trigger directly from the viewport and editors.
The set spans several areas of Blender. In Object and Pose modes, a Copy Pie copies selected modifiers, constraints and custom properties between objects and bones, along with their drivers, geonode inputs, and physics and baking properties. Animation editors gain keyframing pies for Keyframe Type, Handle Type, Interpolation Mode and Extrapolation Mode. A Camera Pie includes a Depth of Field toggle and an F-Stop slider, and a Select Similar Pie works across Object, Mesh, Pose and Armature edit modes.
Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, the add-on lists compatibility with Blender 5.0 and is marked unsupported on 6.0 and above. Version 1.7.4 sits at rank 28 in the Blender Extensions library.
3D Viewport Pie Menus is best for blender artists who want to speed up various workflows with gesture-based pie menus.
3D Viewport Pie Menus is completely free to download and use.
3D Viewport Pie Menus lists compatibility with Blender 5.0 and is marked unsupported on Blender 6.0 and above. If you're running a supported 5.x version, the add-on's gesture-based pie menus should work as described. For versions outside that range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, since the listed support range can change between releases of the extension.
3D Viewport Pie Menus requests one permission: access to Files, which it uses to load brush icons from disk. That is the only permission stated for the extension. If you would like to review how this permission is used before installing, the developer's page documents the extension's permissions in full, so you can confirm the details there rather than relying on a summary.
3D Viewport Pie Menus can be added by dragging and dropping it into Blender, or by downloading the package and installing it from disk. Both methods are offered on the extension's page. One thing to note: when creating a Custom Keymap Configuration, you must first disable this add-on and any other add-ons that create hotkeys, otherwise those hotkeys can get duplicated and stuck.
3D Viewport Pie Menus is listed as free here and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license governs how you can use, modify and redistribute the add-on. For current licensing terms or any conditions attached to use, check the developer's page, which is the authoritative source for the extension's license and distribution details rather than this brief summary.
